Brightwheel wants to ensure that centers can track relevant enrollment and financial details about students. In brightwheel administrators are able to track and view a student’s enrollment needs from their student profile. This includes information like desired and actual enrollment dates, program desired, family employers & income details, and other relevant information pertaining to enrollment.

ℹ️ The information contained in these panels is viewable and editable by Administrators and Managers only.
